A molecule that is currently being used to treat cancerous soft-tissue sarcomas may be the key for developing a cure for HIV. This molecule, known as EBC-46, works by temporarily activating the HIV ...

Ten UCSF graduate students presented their research in accessible, 3-minute talks at the 2025 Grad Slam event. This year’s ...

That's exactly what the viruses have done. HIV-1, for example, produces a molecule called Vpu that prevents tetherin from inhibiting virion release. That molecule, however, can only block the activity ...

Tomas Cihlar knew all too well that despite initial successes with combination treatment, HIV was firmly holding ground ...

Ten arduous years later, the researchers made significant progress toward their goal by creating a molecule that has the potential to help revolutionize the fight against HIV. "In the beginning ...

Notable examples include reporting the abundance of the surface receptor HER2 as a part of breast cancer diagnosis, or using a CD4-positive cell count in the assessment of HIV patients.

At this point HIV has become AIDS ... The genetic information itself is contained in a complex molecule called DNA which stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. Scientists worked out the structure ...

Nef protein, which is expressed by HIV during infection, shields the virus from immune detection. This protein reduces a molecule on the surface of the cell that acts as a marker to help the ...

with this vaccine molecule, we could actually get neutralizing antibodies to emerge within weeks.” This is promising news for the development of an HIV vaccine. However, more research is needed ...
